More about the Cultural Districts

Harwich Center Cultural District-52nd Cultural District for the State of Massachusetts 

The Harwich Center Cultural District is in the heart of the historical hub of the Town of Harwich. The Center is home to many events, historical sites and landmarks. The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs parallel to historic Main Street connecting the district's valuable assets. Harwich Center Cultural District is anchored by ‘The 204’ which is home to the creative community; a repurposed middle school turned into Studio Launch Space as well as the epi-center for all cultural programs and events. Our Harwich Center Cultural District is home to not only our historical sites and rich history but the Harwich Mariners Baseball Team who plays within the Cape Cod Baseball league, one of the nation’s premier collegiate summer leagues. From a deep dive into history at the Brooks Academy to learn about the first private academy in Harwich, or a walk over to the Brooks Library to learn about the Cranberry Growing History and the Cape Verdean Culture, Harwich Center Cultural District is the place where art and culture meet history.

 

Harwich Port Cultural District-53rd Cultural District for the State of Massachusetts 

The Harwich Port Cultural District is the place for all things land and sea! On the sunniest side of Cape Cod, Harwich Port was settled by the seaman and fisherman, many of whom specialized in boat-making, sail-making and carpentry. Harwich Port has quickly over the years become a visitor’s haven with a rich arts and culture scene. From Live music in the Port throughout the summer, to Art in the Park, Artists Shacks at our Seaside Marketplace and more the Port has all you need. With a variety of tasty menus, quaint shops, galleries, and more, Harwich Port Cultural District is the hub for Live Music, Gallery Strolls, and immersing yourself in Art. Scenic overlooks and quick access to numerous beaches allows all visitors a chance to engage with the Marine Science Life and learn about the significance it has for our cultural community. The Harwich Port Cultural District is a vibrant and robust area that has something for everyone.
